The daughter of former attorney-general Tommy Thomas secured 32,586 votes against Anthony Albanese’s 65,963 votes in a six-cornered fight.

In a post on Instagram, Hannah, who represented The Greens party, said her campaign was staunch and unapologetic in its support for Palestine and had weathered a “slew of hit pieces from the media as a result”.

She said none of these articles changed her resolve.

“I’ll never regret anything I say or do for Palestine, I’ll only ever regret not doing enough.

“I have complete moral clarity that we’re on the right side of history, that the major parties are not, and that Palestine will be free.”

Hannah also said it had been a privilege to be the face of an ambitious, people-powered campaign in Grayndler, one determined to make sure that the community knew their local representative had been complicit in the genocide of countless Palestinians, among others.

Hannah, who migrated to Australia in 2009, said in a recent interview that she was spurred to challenge Albanese because of his failure to act on the genocide in Palestine and his attitude towards immigrants and refugees.

Albanese led the Labor Party to a landslide victory, becoming the first Australian prime minister in 21 years to win a second consecutive term, while opposition leader Peter Dutton failed to win his own seat, the first federal opposition leader to suffer such a loss.
